Sexual abuse as a manifestation of personality disorders and a crime is shaped and committed in a specific social environment. The Institute for Catholic Church Statistics was the first in Poland to undertake systematic research on the problem of child sexual abuse. The scope of this research concerns the acts committed within Catholic organizations by priests and religious. In this chapter, we present Polish research on abuse and characterize the organizational framework of the Catholic Church in Poland. We highlight the public importance of research on child sexual abuse by priests. The focus of the chapter, however, is devoted to the methodological issues of quantitative sociological research on the sexual abuse of minors within Catholic organizations. We discuss the basic assumptions, methods and scope of collected data that concerns Poland. In an accessible and understandable way for a reader who has no knowledge of social sciences, we explain how the facts of child abuse by priests and religious are studied in Poland.

The parish was the center of religious life in the interwar period. Traditional rural and small-town parishes were local communities. Traditional folk religiosity was primarily characterized by a deep attachment to the faith of the forefathers, but without sufficient knowledge of its basic truths or adherence to them in everyday life. An important feature of this type of religiousness was the observance of religious practices being the most important manifestation of religious life. Singular practices in particular (baptism, first communion, confirmation, church wedding, or anointment) fulfilled important functions in individual, family, and parish life. As far as religious observance was concerned, the clergy had the least problems among the petty bourgeoisie and the peasantry. The majority of people who neglected religious practices were among the intelligentsia. A commonly recognized manifestation of religiousness was participation in various types of indulgences and pilgrimages. They were not only important religious events, but also touristic and social ones. At some of the indulgence feasts, churches or monasteries with miraculous images were visited by crowds of believers from distant places. Pilgrimages were typically organized to Częstochowa, Poznań, Gniezno, and Kalwaria Zebrzydowska. Those who went on several pilgrimages gained respect. A significant role in deepening social and religious awareness was played by parish associations and religious confraternities (Polish Youth Union, Tertiary associations, circles of the Living Rosary, Rosary Confraternities, or Marian Sodalities). The Catholic press also served to deepen religious life (Rycerz Niepokalanej, Mały Dziennik, Gość Różańcowy, Niedziela, and Niewiasta Katolicka). Religion played an important role in the life of the local community, meeting individual human needs. The church participated in the most important life events – such as births, weddings, and funerals – and organized people’s leisure time, in addition to instilling moral principles among the faithful.

Centrum życia religijnego w okresie międzywojennym była parafia. Parafia wiejska i małomiasteczkowa stanowiła typ parafii – wspólnoty lokalnej. Tradycyjna w tych środowiskach religijność ludowa charakteryzowała się przede wszystkim głębokim przywiązaniem do wiary ojców, jednakże bez dostatecznej znajomości jej podstawowych prawd i realizacji ich w życiu codziennym. Istotną cechą tej religijności było przestrzeganie praktyk religijnych jako najważniejszego przejawu życia religijnego. Zwłaszcza te o charakterze jednorazowym (chrzest, komunia św., bierzmowanie, ślub kościelny, namaszczenie) odgrywały ważną rolę w życiu indywidualnym, rodzinnym i parafialnym. Jeśli chodzi o spełnianie praktyk religijnych, to najmniej problemów przysparzało duchowieństwu drobnomieszczaństwo i chłopstwo. Najwięcej osób zaniedbujących praktyki religijne było wśród inteligencji. Powszechnie uznanym przejawem religijności było uczestniczenie w różnego rodzaju odpustach i pielgrzymkach. Były one ważnym wydarzeniem nie tylko religijnym, ale także turystyczno-towarzyskim. Na niektóre odpusty do kościołów lub klasztorów posiadających cudowne obrazy przybywali tłumnie wierni z odległych nawet miejscowości. Pielgrzymki najczęściej organizowane były do Częstochowy, Poznania, Gniezna i Kalwarii Zebrzydowskiej. Osoby, które odbywały kilka dalszych pielgrzymek, zyskiwały odpowiedni szacunek. Doniosłą rolę w pogłębianiu świadomości społeczno-religijnej odgrywały stowarzyszenia parafialne i bractwa religijne (Stowarzyszenie Młodzieży Polskiej, stowarzyszenia tercjarskie, koła Żywego Różańca, Bractwa Różańcowe, Sodalicja Mariańska). Pogłębieniu życia religijnego służyła też prasa katolicka („Rycerz Niepokalanej”, „Mały Dziennik”, „Gość Różańcowy”, „Niedziela”, „Niewiasta Katolicka”). Religia odgrywała istotną rolę w życiu społeczności lokalnej, zaspokajała indywidualne potrzeby człowieka. Kościół uczestniczył w najważniejszych wydarzeniach życiowych, jak narodziny, ślub, pogrzeb, organizował czas wolny ludzi, zaszczepiał wśród wiernych zasady moralne.
